Vishwakarma Interiors

Vishwakarma Interiors is tucked away in Rajesh Park in the Vakola area of Santacruz East. It is a busy spot most days. You can usually find us surrounded by stacks of plywood and half-finished cabinet doors. The shop isn't very large, so we have to be careful where we step. There is always a fine layer of sawdust over everything, no matter how much we sweep. We spend our mornings looking at drawings and our afternoons out at various flats in the neighborhood. The traffic on the road outside is always loud, so we have to shout sometimes to hear each other over the saws. It’s just us here, working with our hands and trying to figure out the best way to fit a wardrobe into a small corner. We don't have a fancy showroom with bright lights. Most people just walk in because they saw our sign while going to the station. We talk about wood types, hinges, and which laminate won't scratch too easily. Sometimes the delivery truck gets stuck in the narrow lane, and we all have to go out and help unload the boards. It’s hard work, and the heat in Santacruz can be a bit much in the summer months. We usually take a break for tea around four o'clock at the stall nearby. It’s just a regular local business doing what we know. We have been in Rajesh Park for a while now and know most of the people around here.
